Weekly Hands Across the Table dinner back at St. Andre Bessette Parish for a month

LACONIA — Hands Across the Table will be hosting their free Tuesday night meal at the Saint Andre Bessette Parish Hall on Gilford Avenue tonight and will continue to host their weekly meals there until the first week of March.Doors open at 4 p.m. with the meal served at 5 p.m. The third annual HATT Soupathon and Silent Service Auction will be held Sunday, Feb. 9 from 5-7 p.m. at St. Andre Bessette Parish Hall.The move was made necessary by the return of the Saint James Preschool to the Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region after temporarily being housed at the Lakes Region Child Care Services Early Learning Center on Normandin Square.The upstairs area used as dining facility at the Boys and Girls Club will be used by the preschool until repairs are completed to its downstairs classrooms.Gayle Sullivan, St. James preschool director, said that the preschool has been housed at Normandin Square for a month and moved back because the space it had been using is needed so that furniture can be moved around during a recarpeting project at the Lakes Region Child Care Services facility.
